Big school

My semester starts Friday, but Josh's started today. I tried to get work until Friday but Arnie said things are slow (they are) and he doesn't need me to put in extra hours. Josh asked if I'd come meet up at his school for lunch, and then he'll show me around.

So in the freezing cold I headed in to the Village. You can spot all the tourists now because they're wearing turtlenecks. I hate the look of turtlenecks.

We just went to Tartine for lunch, then got hot chocolates and raced over to Josh's class. I thought it would be super hard to follow along in Sociological Theory and Josh's english class would be all about types of grammar I've never heard of or deeper meanings of Shakespeare but everything made sense.It wasn't too hard at all. Maybe Josh is kind of dumb and only takes the easiest classes they offer, but I could totally do NYU.

I graduated from NYU. Granted it was a couple of decades ago but still, I did it.

You could totally do NYU. Probably with both hands tied behind your back and a 3 week vacation per semester. Easy peasy.

I have no doubt you could do NYU. :)

Well they do say that the best teachers make complicated things sound very simple.

Of course you could do NYU. You're obviously intelligent, motivated and creative. Motivation is something that no school can provide, if you have it, you can do anything you decide to attempt. After conquering Aunt Elaine, what's NYU?

You're a smart cookie, Sam -- I'm pretty sure you could do almost anything you set your mind to. What would make a school like that much more difficult for you would be the added stress of loans, work-study, scholarship applications, etc. Might not be worth it.

I'm with the rest. You COULD totally do NYU. Can you swing it logistically? A degree from NYU is a beautiful thing. Or do you even want to...
